Download embedded videos from any site using GRAB (Orbit Downloader Extension)

One of the best download manager, Orbit downloader also has a embedded video downloader that not many people know about, the things I like most about it is that it is light weight , you don’t need to install separate software as it comes integrated with orbit downloader which is a very good download manager in itself, it works with every site that has embedded content not just Youtube and it is not only limited to video you can download music or any embedded content like swf too.

When you install orbit download the installer doesn’t creates any shortcut for grab by default so you have to manually do that, so to do that just go to to the directory where you installed orbit downloader (usually C:\\Program Files\OrbitDownloader) and right click the file Grab.exe and in the “send to” menu click on “shortcut to desktop” that’s it, this will place the shortcut to GRAB on your desktop

Now if you want to download any video just double click the shortcut you just created and open the the site that contains the video, when the video starts loading grab will automatically detect the video file (.flv), to download that video tick the checkbox near that video then click the download button and this will start the download in orbit downloader.

if it doesn’t detects any video make sure your browser is checked in grab’s preferences

Edit: by the way Grab can also be opened from inside orbit. Tools >> GRAB++ (Thanks to musafir )
